[cupramat]

Can any one tell me wat the LCR has different to the LC engine wise?
n wat can i do to my LC to get the same 225bhp as the LCR,
i have tryed searching on the site but couldnt find anythin about it,
any help would be nice.

different turbo, injectors, maf. totally different.

lc to lcr power = stage 2 custom map with supporting mods.

1. full turbo back exhaust
2. induction
3 uprated tip
4. uprated dv
5. possible 4 bar fpr
6. possible fmic

that should see you for 230ish bhp.

but... the lcr handles better as stock, and has brembos aswell.

cheers for that mate u r a big help, i new to all this so dont know wat all the uprated tip, possible 4 bar fpr, and possible fmic, mean, sorry to be a pain

tip = turbo inlet pipe, from the airbox/maf to the turbo. the oem is restrictive. have a look for forge tip on google.

4 bar fpr is 4 bar fuel preesure regulator, oem is 3 bar, 4 bar for extra fuelling

fmic. front mount intercooler, lc has 1 side mount, lcr has 2 side mount intercoolers. fmnic allows greater cool air flow

have a good search on this forum for the above abbreviations... wealth of info

cupra r is 20mm lower as standard ??

cupra r is 20mm lower as standard ??

LCR 20mm lower than a standard leon
LC 10mm lower than a standard leon

When i was looking all the spring makers quote against the standard leon. so if they say a 25mm drop on an LC the reality is it will actually drop 15mm

Aren't you just better off selling yours and buying a real LCR? Suppose it depends how much your LC is worth though.

Until you notice that most modded Lcrs have changed their suspension set ups. I think a set up lc would handle better than a stock lcr.

Depends what you want. go above 290bhp and both cars need the same mods to make the power.
